ton of his loss. The papers he takes
are published away FROM his home. the
publishers of which neither know him
ar care for him enough to mention any
loss he may sustain, unless 1t would be
unusual, which its readers might be
interested In. When such q man drops
out of community nobody but his
Immediate family misses him, and the

There is some discussion among our
citizens concerning the action of our
resident physicians in bidding for the
county patronage. The AVALANCHE
belives they were thoroughly in the
right and that their plan was not only
courteous to each other, but would
have been more satisfactory to suffer-
ers who require their aid by the
county's assistance, as thereby they
could have their choice of attendants
the same as though they were indie
pendent of aid. As to the amount
named 1t was by comparison very low.

way the peer of the representatives of
the profession here, but the total alb
surdity of the appointment lies in the
fact of his residence outside of the
